Male With Stroke Sign Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Male With Stroke Sign because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+26A6, which you can use as ⚦ in HTML, \26A6 in CSS, or type with Alt+9894 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Male With Stroke Sign is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+26A6 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Male With Stroke Sign has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⚦ or the hex escape ⚦.
